is now in danger of loosing it, Iif current re-
occurred in his accounts. No reflection is
cast upon his integrity and Democrats refer
to the matter with as much apparent regret as
Republicans. The accounts of the Marshaps
office are complex, rules of red tape in Wash
ington are necessarily strict, and the Gen
eral is not so clever a mathematician as an
orator, hence the disagreeable situation in
which he is placed.

NewfoundIand.s pestItutIon.

HALIFAX, N. s.. Sept. 19.-Newfoundland
adyices to the Herald say that careful inyes-
tigation sustains the report that the in-shore
fishermen are threatened with starvation.
Notwithstanding the denial of interested
persons, who are either incapable Of form
ing judgment or are deliberately attempting
TO deceive the world at large. The north
western shore fisheries, extending from Cape
Ray to Cape Norman. are almost total fail
ure. The southwestern, extending from
Cape Ray to Cape Race, including the For
tune Bay herring fishery. are also very poor.
The winter cod fishery is failure, and the
herring fishery only up to the average. The
bait fishery was moderate, and the summer
cod fishery disastrously poor. Great destitu-
ton must prevail. Added to this is the gov
ernment policy Of enforcing the bait bill,
which prohibits the expectation of bait and
thereby deprives the Fortune Bay people Of
one of their chief means Of livelihood.
The Labrador fishery is also disastrous
failure, and the outlook is gloomy. The al
most total dependence of the people on the
fisheries makes them the sport of a most
tickle industry.

1t is stated that in the constitutional cele-
bration at Philadelphia 24,793 officers and
men passed in review. This suggests the
comment that Gen. Sheridan on this peaceful
occasion rode at the head of force larger
than any army the United States placed in
line before the last year, and equal to the
combined forces on both sides in any battle
of the Mexican war of 1872 or the Revolu-
tionary war, with one or possibly two ex-
ceptions. England conquered India with
out ever having put an equal number of
white soldiers on any battlefield, and the
force which under the much lauded English
General Wolseley subdued Arab in Egypt
was no larger.

them to the poor farm in the town of Car

her with Mrs. Hancock The next morning
she was carried before Trial Justice A. w.

structure by the tramp called Shorty. When
they were running to the woods, one of the

beg food until they reached Burnham.
The officials at Bangor have arrested two
tramps who answer to the description of the
other two men that were in company with
the girl, Shorty and Irish on the night of the
burning of the Stevenson buildings. Deputy
Sheriff Stevens comes to Bangor in the MORN
